A Sneak Thief.

Mrs. John Burkhart, of the Pacific
House, near the depot, discovered last
night that she had been robbed of a
pair of bracelets worth 500, and pair
of opera glasses, which cost $40. She
wore the bracelets Monday evening,
and intended to put them on last
night, when she found them missing.
She suspects well-dressed young

ing got up late. and was seen by the
porter to come out OF her reom. He

not so much for their value, but be-

GEN. MANAGER TALMAGE.
Death of This Prominent Rail-
rOader This Morning.

The St. Louis papers this morning
contained brief paragraph stating
that General Manager Talmage, of the
Wabash Western left that city yester-
day in special car for Toledo, being
still unwell, and expected to be absent
about q week.
News was received in Sedalia this
morning about eight o'clock that
Mr.. Talmage had died about
an hour before, while en-
route to Toledo. at Peru, Indi-
ana. His complaint is stated to have
been an aggravated case of dysentery.
No particulars of the death could be
learned, although diligent investiga-
ton was instituted by the BAzoo.
Mr.. A. A. Talmage, the deceased,
was a prominent figure in western
railroad circles for many years, and
more especially with the Missouri
Pacific, with which line he was iden.
tilted in numerous positions long be-
fore the system of which it is part,
become so gigantic. He started at the
foot of the ladder, as so many success
full railroad men have done, and
gradually but surely worked his way
up to one of the most responsible po-
sitions on one of the greatest railways
in the country.
His death takes away from among
the active workers in railroad circles,
one of the keenest, far.seeing and
most capable managers of an i'm
portant railway line the country
possessed, and his place at the head of
the Wabash Western will be difficult
to fill.

He is Alive To-day.

A gentleman, this morning, in con-
versation with another, remarked that
he had q sure preventive for cholera.
He was travelling through Ohio one
summer and diHed copiously on water
melons, cove oysters, and crack
ers, washed down with Ken
lucky whisky. To his surprise,
after this repast, there was a revolu-
ton in his stomach, and he thought
he would die. He rolled of his horse
into q pennyroyal field and commenced
chewing the leaves Of the pungent
weed, Then he sent of one Of his
companions for liquor and
inaugurated a, diet of pennyroyal
and whisky, which efectually settled
his cholera. Whenever he, feels
stomaehically weak, to this day, he
says he never fails to fly to the flask
and the weed and the mixture always
strikes the cholera in the center.

Took the Kew Along.

The landlord of the Irwin House,
q hotel on West Second street, hired
a new porter the other day, and
everything went along swimmingly
until Monday night, when all at once
the new porter disappeared, taking
along with him the big door key to
the front door, and, it is thought,
about FIVE dollars of money, belonging
to guest named Robert Rooney, who
is a nephew of the proprietor of the
inn. Mr.. Riley, the landlord, don't
care 30 much about the porter, who
called himself Perry Martin, being
gone, but he would like to get that key
back. t,

Taylor Blow delivered himself of
speech at Landlord Hall last even

talked like his baggage was a little
light to get two days board on, and
that he wanted "space" or a ''stand

vain. --

After Thirteen Years of Absence
From the Lad. ......

About thirteen years ago, or in
1874, to be accurate, Mrs. Henrietta
Startling removed from this county to
Kansas. She was q widow and in
very poor circumstances, but with
quite a brood of children. She dis
posed of the young ones as best she
could, and one of them, a boy of nine,
fell into the hands of Mr.. Priest, after
wards county collector, who took him
from the county farm, and reared him
into a good slip of a boy, gave him
schooling, and when he left him,
furnished him with suitable outfit to
make his own way in the world.
Mrs. Starting, who was, before she
first married, Henrietta Bohn, living
down on the MORGAN, returned to Sc.
dalia Friday and is registered at the
Merchants as ''Mrs. III. Veil, Moline,
Kan" She instituted inquiries among
old acquaintance, and discovered
that her son was farming up near
Longwood. He is a young man of
twenty-five years of age, and prosper
ing. Mrs. Veil went up there this
to see her son, and will en-
deavor to induce him to remove to
Kansas. She is expect
ed back in Sedalia tomorrow.

Recovering.

Miraculously as it may seem, G. N.
A. CLANCY is recovering and is now
convalescing. Most men with less
will and tenacity to cling to life would
have succumbed and now be number

ulates Mr.. CLANCY and his family and
friends on his pretty certain recovery.
